Evelyn's pov “Come on princess, we just want to have a little fun with you. Why are you trying to make it so difficult for us? You think you are too good for us?!”That night I had a terrible nightmare it brought me back into that Forest again completely helpless and being chased down by those rogue wolves. They were not giving up at all even as I ran so quickly that leaves trickled into my flesh and script against my skin but I was not going to allow him to take advantage of me but before I knew it, I lost my balance tripping over a rock and then landing square on my face. I scrambled up to my feet but right when I had done so, it was already too late. I was surrounded left and right. The leader of the rogues had a self-satisfied smile on his face as if he couldn't be any happier and then he came down his palm ready with a heavy slap that went across my cheeks leaving the imprints of his filthy fingers on my face and then he spattered me for thinking that I could actually escape th

Evelyn's pov I don't know how I was even able to eventually force myself to sleep. Maybe because I could not bear to turn around and to see that look in his eyes. I don't even know how to describe it. I wouldn't say that he was absolutely disgusted but he didn't look particularly pleased. It was as if the night could have turned out any other way for him and it just happened to dive into the worst possible scenario. My fingers had buried themselves into the bed sheet until I was afraid that they would tear red through the fabric and I had to relax more out of tiredness than the willingness to sleep. I had fallen into slumber again. Nobody got to choose their mate. That was something that I learned at a very young age; it was something that would come to you like a tsunami. A full force that was so powerful and so overwhelming that it would completely take over your world before you even realized it and it would have you spinning out of control there was no way that you could possibl

Evelyn's pov When I arrived at the Packhouse everybody seemed to be too surprised to see me. It was almost as if they had thought that I had gone on some kind of long journey and then I realized that I had actually been missing yesterday since I didn't tell my husband to inform these people that I had actually gone into the woods and I had made sure that my whereabouts was as vague as possible to the servants it made me realize that maybe this was why they doctor didn't want to trust me so much and I had actually beginning to lose control.I was already aware of the influence that my stepmother was holding along with her ability to manipulate and control others this would obviously make people to agree with her and to side with her in situations that they shouldn't and of course, this was one of them but I didn't have time to start pointing fingers I wanted to know where my husband was and so the first guard that greeted me at the entrance of the Packhouse I immediately demanded for

Evelyn's pov He didn't look like he was about to comply to my demand anytime soon instead he turned around to my stepmother and seemed to signal her something with his eyes, she immediately got the information and she ran out of the room before I could grab her and I turned my anger over to Alex for allowing such a thing to happen. He could have just sat down there and continued to make himself like decoration which was all he was good for after all.He had thrown away everything we had just so that he could sleep with my stepmother so it wasn't as if shame or pride was something that mattered to him the only thing that mattered was getting his way, now that I think about it, it made him a really good match with my stepmother both of them were perverts who had no sense of shame at all and did not even understand the reason why they were supposed to feel shameful for all the things that they had done. Alex looked at me and I was about to go after Quinn but he held on to my wrist tight

Evelyn's pov He gave me a look as if what he had done and the reason for it was so incredibly obvious that it couldn't be overstated or even didn't need to be stated at all. That it was something that was supposed to be known like a universal fact but I wasn't really sure I had a few suspicions, of course, he always sees my step-family from day one and he found all of them deployable but I didn't think that he would go so far as to publicly beating up my step brother knowing his position.Even if it was something that I didn't respect I know that if his mother was able to pull all of the right strings then he would actually be able to get my birthright which was something that made him problematic enough and despite my own will next to see him as a member of the royal family it was something that I had to begrudgingly accept as a threat and something that had to be taken care of and I wonder if it was because of my absence that made him feel like there was nobody to hold him back so
